Can't speak for clon, but I know of far more people who've ended up with really high dependence on xanax than diazepam. My strong suspicion is because alrazolam is short acting people feel it wear off and re-dose. Every time they dose is an opportunity to "increase dose just this once..." and it escalates from there. I guess there is also a cultural thing around xanax in the music industry and the Reddit style "bartard" stories (although I really don't think people on this forum are in that category!!!).
